Hemodynamic Response to Acute Volume Load and Endomyocardial NO-synthase Gene Expression in Heart Transplant Recipients

Transplantation Direct, 2022
Background. A pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) >18 mm Hg following volume load has been proposed as a partition value for the detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. As hemodynamic changes in filling pressures (FP) have been

Sarcopenia and Heart Failure [PDF]

Nutrients, 2020
Modifications of lean mass are a frequent critical determinant in the pathophysiology and progression of heart failure (HF). Sarcopenia may be considered one of the most important causes of low physical performance and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness in older patients with HF. Sarcopenia is frequently misdiagnosed as cachexia. However, muscle wasting
